Abstract: There has been a concentrated effort in mod-
eling fluid flow in asphalt pavements, and most of the ex-
isting work has been limited to evaluation of directional
permeabilities. The effects of other phenomena, such as
development of flow-induced pore pressure and viscous
shear stress distributions at the pore­solid interfaces, on
moisture damage in an asphalt pore structure have not
been fully understood. A three-dimensional (3D) nu-
merical fluid flow model was developed using the lattice
Boltzmann (LB) method to simulate water flow within
